The end is nigh. The infected are lurking everywhere and chances of survival are slim. Left 4 Dead focuses on the story of 4 individuals and their harrowing battles against the hordes of the infected that roam the streets. What about other survivors? What would they look like and what kind of deformed monstrosities would they be up against?

Competition

The Contest

This is your chance to create your own rendition of a survivor or boss infected that fits into the Left 4 Dead universe. Win copies of L4D games and sweet zombie-related swag for you and your friends! What are you waiting for, the zombie apocalypse?

The long and short of it is we have some great prizes to give away and we want to see some creative output from you guys. Design your own version of an additional survivor or boss infected that looks like it would fit into the Left 4 Dead universe (download game media here). Entries can be 2D or 3D (no monochrome models or wireframes, please), or even a mix of both. Winning entries will be chosen by a panel of Mod DB and Valve judges and announced a few days before Left 4 Dead hits store shelves!

The Prizes
